The Arizona Designer Craftsmen, one of the oldest craft guilds in the country, was organized in 1959 to foster contemporary craft statewide. This landmark anniversary event features pieces from 50 local artists who work in traditional craft mediums including ceramics, fiber, basketry, metal, wood, glass, jewelry, papermaking and book arts.

Learn more about Arizona Designer Craftsmen, a resource for the collector, the curator, and for both the emerging craft artist as well as the established, many of whom are at the forefront of their fields.

Welcome

I was already an artist when in the late 1970s I became interested in fiber as a medium. I learned the basics of quilt-making and was quickly caught up early on in a movement that would change the face and place of contemporary quilts. Today - many, many quilts and exhibits later, seven studios and three states plus one foreign country later - I find myself a working quilt artist in Tucson, Arizona. The stillfresh30+ year art/quilt journey continues. . . .

May 2010: An efficient blog format allows me to respond to requests that I share more current work. I’ll regularly add new-to-the-public-domain pieces completed since year 2000. For those interested in quilts prior to 2000 or more background, I invite you to visit an earlierarchived web site.
